In this work, an activated carbon derived from date pits and stems (DPSAC) was prepared by physical activation under N 2 and used as a support of cobalt transition metals, by wetness impregnation at different Co content and different calcination temperatures. The optimal operator conditions were 20 wt% cobalt impregnation ratio and 300°C calcination temperature. The grafted material was characterized by methods: thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform of infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The activated carbon (DPSAC) and grafted activated carbon (Co/DPSAC) were realized on adsorption of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from aqueous solution , it was found that the cobalt-grafted dates pits and stems activated carbon promoted the 2,4-D adsorption kinetics, The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models were applied for the adsorption results. The rate of adsorption of 2,4-D onto (DPSAC) and (Co/DPSAC) were estimated and described using a pseudo-second order model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
